5. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML Typical SMIL Elements - Head element - Meta data, such as author, copyright... - Layout of the presentation - Region describing positioning - Body element - Sequential time container - Parallel time container,, - Media to be played - Selects between elements, - Linking

6. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML SMIL 2.0 Document Example

7. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML Modularization and profiling  Modularization breaks an XML language into modules –One module has only a small set of elements –Reusable element packages  Profiling combines modules into usable languages –Small profiles for small devices – Complex profiles for big machines

8. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML SMIL 2.0 Profiles  SMIL 2.0 divided into 45 modules  Modules grouped into functional areas: 1. Structure 2. Metainformation 3. Layout 4. Timing 5. Media Objects  W3C: SMIL 2.0 Basic Profile  W3C: SMIL 2.0 Full Profile  3GPP: SMIL MMS profile 6. Linking 7. Content Control 8. Animation 9. Transitions 10. Time Manipulations

9. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML Use cases for SMIL  Multimedia Messaging  Slideshows  Advertisements  Internet TV  Education  Corporate communications  Product information  User’s Guides  Net meetings  etc.

14. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML SMIL support in X-Smiles 0.71  SMIL 2.0 Basic profile + Event Timing module, Basic Animations,...  Can be used as a standalone player  Can be used as a Java-component // Create the SMIL player JSMILPlayer smil = new JSMILPlayer(); // Initialize with the filename (could also be URL) if (smil.init(filename) == false) System.out.println("ERROR initializing "+filename); // Create a frame and add the SMIL component to it JFrame frame = new JFrame("Simple SMIL player"); frame.setSize(600,400); frame.getContentPane().add(smil, BorderLayout.CENTER); frame.show(); // Start the SMIL presentation smil.start();

15. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML SMIL features in X-Smiles  Supports XHTML+CSS (colors/fonts)  Supports ECMAScripts –click, mousedown, mouseover...  Can integrate several media formats –Images: GIF, JPEG and PNG –Audio: AIFF, AU, AVI, MIDI, MP3, OGG and WAV –Video: AVI, MPEG-1, QT –XML: SMIL, XSL FO, XHTML and SVG  Uses Java Media Framework for audio/video  Works also without JMF

16. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML SMIL Demos  Example  Ahma Gulo Gulo  Drinks  Bikes  SVG in SMIL Try it out at www.x-smiles.org !

17. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML Multimedia Messaging System  A subset of SMIL 2.0 Basic profile – Very restricted  Supports text, audio (amr), images (png/jpg), video (3gpp)  Included in the latest 2.5G phones – Nokia 7650 / 6610, Ericsson T68i, Siemens S57…  Possible to send MMS to e-mail address – SMIL and media files delivered as attachments

18. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML MMS Example <region id="Video" height="69%" width="100%" left="0%" top="0%" fit="meet" /> <region id="Text" height="30%" width="100%" left="0%" top="69% fit="scroll" />...

19. Kari Pihkala 25.3.2003 HIIT - XML MMS demonstration  Video + text + audio
